Program Overview
In partnership with our clients, we establish goals that support community participation and independence. We strive to work in partnership with you, your managed care plan, service providers, plan members, and your family and government partner to prevent and manage chronic health conditions and recover from serious mental illness and/or addictions.
All of our services are recovery-oriented, supporting a care plan that addresses physical, behavioral and mental health needs through evidence-based and data-driven techniques. This can build stability and promote hope, encouraging each person on their individual path to recovery. You can receive these services in your home or out in the community from our dedicated staff members. We can also connect with you using tele-health technology.
